Guests say
Guests generally enjoy the well-equipped, clean, and comfortable cottage in a peaceful location with countryside views. The property is ideal for families, offering a play area and other amenities. Some guests noted issues with maintenance and missing items, but these were not universal experiences. The absence of a swimming pool and ongoing construction work were occasional drawbacks.
The property is frequently praised for its cleanliness, with several guests appreciating the tidy and well-maintained environment. However, a few mentioned cobwebs and unclean kitchen items, slightly affecting the overall impression.
The location is highly regarded for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions. The countryside views are a highlight, although some guests found it difficult to walk to nearby places.
Comfort is well-received with the property providing a cosy environment, though some guests found the lounge seating area a bit cramped for four adults and the patio furniture insufficient for all guests.
Facilities are generally good, with special mentions of the play area and tennis court. However, the score is affected by the discontinued swimming pool, construction work, and some maintenance issues like appliance functionality and missing items.
While some guests were pleased with the provision of items such as Molton Brown toiletries, the inconsistency in thoughtful touches like welcome gifts and the lack of guaranteed amenities like hand soap means a score cannot be accurately provided.
About this property
3 Court Cottage is one of six delightful properties, each designed, furnished and equipped to the very highest standards, situated in the exclusive Hillfield Village development. Just a four mile drive from the historic maritime town of Dartmouth, with its meandering riverside, quaint cobbled streets and boutique shops, this is a fabulous holiday destination.

If you would rather relax in the comfort of your holiday home and the peaceful surroundings of Hillfield Village, guests can enjoy the use of beautiful gardens, all-weather tennis court and a children's play area. 3 Court Cottage is a stylish holiday home, completed to an excellent standard, providing exceptional accommodation for up to four people. After a busy day exploring the surrounding countryside, return to the open plan living area and relax in comfort. With a dining area and well equipped kitchen, plus two bedrooms, the property is perfect for a couple, or small family. The master King-size double bedroom on the ground floor benefits from an en suite bathroom with whirlpool bath, whilst the second en suite twin bedroom has doors out to the furnished balcony, with rural views over the surrounding countryside. Whether you are looking for a romantic break or a holiday with your children, this is a wonderful base all year round.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular sandy beaches are a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

For reference i have stayed in this property 3 times and at Hillfield 6 times so am comparing to previous visits. I don't expect a holiday rental to be perfect (and in general this a comfortable home from home which is why we always book it) and we have had issues in this property in the past which the previously onsite team used to pop in and resolve instantly. There are a number of issues that need immediate attention. Regarding the entrance door, on the bottom half of the stable door the door handle is broken and does not stay attached to the door, this obviously causes issues to open and shut it fully. I noticed this was an issue that got raised in Feedback on another property with a similar door on your website and suspect, these doors are coming to the end of their life. In the fridge, a clip is broken holding a shelf in place meaning you only have 2 shelves to use and not 3 which for a family of 4 self catering is an issue. Various light bulbs need replacing as they dont work including a bedroom one and lounge one. There is no mattress protector on the double bed which is pretty unhygienic. A glass has a chipped edge meaning it shouldn't be used. There are a number of issues regarding items that we're in this well stocked property that are no longer here. These include: a small kitchen knife, meaning you're always cutting items, with a large carving knife. There's no scales, but I know there used to be. There are plastic bowls missing meaning you would need to take china plates outside. The downstairs toilet has no toilet brush. The Hoover is filled up solid, meaning it doesn't work. I suspect the bag is filled up at the end of the summer. There is no broom meaning we can't even sweep up easily. All in all, there are quite a few issues that you or the property owner need to resolve because at the moment there are growing issues and I have stayed here multiple times so have seen the condition before. We always enjoy coming to hillfield village, and this particular property but if we had know about all these issues we would not have booked it. We didn't contact about these issues as i'm surprised you didn't already know and we just wanted to get on enjoying our holiday as we were out and about every day.

A bit disappointing that the cleaners do not check this sort of thing when they inspect it and change bed linen etc. Overall lovely accommodation and we have stayed on this site many times before. A good location but difficult to walk anywhere. I would go back again in the future.
